흑연 및 카본재료는 알칼리 금속을 intercalation/de-intercalation 시킬수 있는 특성을 지니고 있으며, 또한 Li-intercalated carbon의 화학 potential이 Li 금속에 가까운 낮은 값을 지닌 특성으로 리튬 이차전지의 anode 전극재료로서 널리 쓰일 가능성이 매우 크다. 본 연구에서는 카본재료 중 mesocarbon microbeads (MCMB)를 리튬 이차전지의 anode 전극재료로 사용하여 전지반응을 수행하고, 전극의 충.방 전 특성과 전극계면 반응특성에 대하여 연구하였다. 즉, Li/carbon(MCMB) 전지 cell를 제작하고 전해질과 전극계면에서 일어나는 전기화학 반응특성을 충.방 전 시험, Potentionat/Galvanostat 시험, FT-IR 분석, XRD 및 SED 분석에 의하여 고찰하였다. 전지반응이 진행되면서 전극과 전해질 계면에서 고체상태의 부동태 막 (passivation film)이 형성되었으며, 일단 형성된 막은 전해질 내에 용해되지 않고 충.방 전 횟수가 증가하면서 두께가 증가되었다. 또한, 이러한 전극 계면에서 형성된 부동태 막과 중전용량과의 관계에 대하여 고찰하였다.

의료용 임플랜트의 혈액적합성 개선을 위하여 박막코팅에 대한 관심이 증대하고 있다. 특히 diamond-like carbon(DLC)과 titanium nitride(TiN) 박막은 우수한 화학, 물리적 성질은 물론 생체적합 특성까지 갖추고 있다. 따라서 이들 박막의 혈액 적합성과 물리적 특성과의 관개를 연구하기 위하여 박막표면의 모폴로지 및 젖음성과 fibrinogen흡착 특성을 비교 분석하였다. 혈액응고 원인이 되는 fibrinogen의 흡착량은 DLC보다 TiN의 경우가 적어, 보다 우수한 특성을 보였으며, 이것은 TiN박막 표면의 높은 친수성으로 인한 것으로 판단된다. 박막표면의 fibrinogen 흡착을 줄이기 위해 플라즈마 처리 및 노(爐) 열처리를 각각 수행하였다. 산소 플라즈마 및 열처리를 하였을 경우 DLC 박막은 큰 효과가 없는 반면 TiN 박막의 경우 fibrinogen 흡착량이 크게 줄어 보다 개선된 결과를 보였다.

Characterization of the UV oxidation for raw natural rubber (NR) was investigated in controlled conditions through image and FT-IR analysis. The UV oxidation was performed on a thin film of natural rubber coated on a KBr window at 254 nm and room temperature to exclude the thermal oxidation. Before or after exposure to UV light, image of the NR thin film was observed at a right or tilted angle. FT-IR absorption spectra were measured in transmission mode with the UV irradiation time. The UV oxidation of NR was examined by the changes of absorption peaks at 3425, 1717, 1084, 1477, 1377, and $833cm^{-1}$ which were assigned to hydroxyl group (-OH), carbonyl group (-C=O), carbon-oxygen bond (-C-O), methylene group $(-CH_2-)$, methyl group $(-CH_3)$, and cis-methine group $(cis-CCH_3=CH-)$, respectively. During the initial exposure period, the results indicated that the appearance of carbonyl group was directly related to the reduction of cis-methine group containing carbon-carbon double bond (-C=C-). Most of aldehydes or ketones from carbon-carbon double bonds were formed very fast by chain scission. A lot of long wide cracks with one orientation at regular intervals which resulted in consecutive chain scission were observed by image analysis. During all exposure periods, on the other hand, it was considered that the continuous increment of hydroxyl and carbonyl group was closely related to the decrement of methylene and methyl group in the allylic position. Therefore, two possible mechanisms for the UV oxidation of NR were suggested.

To analyze the cause of the destruction of thin, carbon-backed lithium fluoride targets during a measurement of the fusion of ⁷Li and ¹⁷O, we estimate theoretically the lifetimes of carbon and LiF films due to sputtering, thermal evaporation, and lattice damage and compare them with the lifetime observed in the experiment. Sputtering yields and thermal evaporation rates in carbon and LiF films are too low to play significant roles in the destruction of the targets. We estimate the lifetime of the target due to lattice damage of the carbon backing and the LiF film using a previously reported model. In the experiment, elastically scattered target and beam ions were detected by surface silicon barrier (SSB) detectors so that the product of the beam flux and the target density could be monitored during the experiment. The areas of the targets exposed to different beam intensities and fluences were degraded and then perforated, forming holes with a diameter around the beam spot size. Overall, the target thickness tends to decrease linearly as a function of the beam fluence. However, the thickness also exhibits an increasing interval after SSB counts per beam ion decreases linearly, extending the target lifetime. The lifetime of thin LiF film as determined by lattice damage is calculated for the first time using a lattice damage model, and the calculated lifetime agrees well with the observed target lifetime during the experiment. In experiments using a thin LiF target to induce nuclear reactions, this study suggests methods to predict the lifetime of the LiF film and arrange the experimental plan for maximum efficiency.

증착 조건에 따라 나타나는 폴리머상, 경질, 흑연상의 다이아몬드상 카본(DLC) 박막에서 두께 감소에 따른 탄성률의 변화거동을 구조적인 관점에서 살펴보았다. 실험에 사용된 박막은 r.f.-PACVD 장비를 이용하여 증착하였으며, 반응 가스로는 벤젠과 메탄을 사용하였다. 기판을 식각 과정을 통해 완전히 제거시켜 주기 때문에 다른 방법들과는 달리 기판의 영향 없이 박막만의 탄성률을 정확히 측정할 수 있는 free overhang 방법을 이용하여 DLC 박막의 biaxial elastic modulus를 측정하였다. 또한 Raman 분석을 이용하여 박막의 구조를 조사하였다. 박막이 폴리머상 혹은 흑연상인 경우 두께가 감소함에 따라 탄성률이 감소하는 것을 확인하였고, Ramanm spectrum의 G-peak 위치를 분석한 결과 그 원인은 폴리머상인 경우 증착 초기에 낮은 물성을 가지는 폴리머상의 박막이 형성되기 때문이며, 흑연상인 경우 증착 초기에 낮은 물성을 가지는 흑연상의 박막이 증착되기 때문이다. 반면에 경질의 박막에서는 두께에 상관없이 일정한 탄성률을 가지고 있었으며, 두께에 따른 박막의 구조적인 변화도 관찰되지 않았다.

To study the effects of mating materials on the tribological properties of DLC films. we used a ball-on-plate reciprocating friction tester in dry air and mating materials of martensite stainless steel (hardened, annealed SUS440C), austenite stainless steels (SUS304), and bearing steel (hardened, annealed SUJ2). At a light load of 0.6 N, the friction coefficient always exceeded ${\mu}>0.3$. Tribological properties of DLC film were still excellent above 0.6 N, except in sliding against annealed SUJ2. Analysis using micro-laser Raman spectroscopy showed that the difference between annealed SUJ2 and others materials appears mainly due to structural change in film.

Carbon nanotubes (CNT) were synthesized by arc-discharge method. To fabricate CNT sensor, CNT powder was dispersed in ${\alpha}$-Terpinol($C_{10}H_{17}OH$) solution. The CNT tilms were fabricated by screen printing method on the interdigitated Pt/Pd alloy electrode. The microstructure of CNT film was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). In order to investigate the gas sensing characteristics of the film, the CNT film was experimented to measure NO response and recovery time. The CNT sensor with a heater was compared to that without a heater. And this sensor shows better reproductibility and faster recovery time than another CNT sensors. We suggest the possibility to utilize a CNT as new sensing materials for environmental monitoring.

The chemical shift of SiOC film was observed according to the flow rate ratio. SiOC film has the broad main band of $880{\sim}1190cm^{-1}$ and the sharp Si-$CH_3$ bond at $1252cm^{-1}$, and the infrared spectra in the Si-O-C bond moved to low frequency according to the increasing of an oxygen flow rate. The chemical shift affected the carbon content in the SiOC film, and the decreasing of carbon atoms elongated the C-H bonding length, relatively. The main bond without the sharp Si-$CH_3$ bond at $1252cm^{-1}$ consisted of Si-C, C-O and Si-O bonds, and became the bonding structure of the Si-O-C bond.

Boron doped fullerene $C_{60}$ ($B:C_{60}$) films were prepared by the thermal evaporation of $C_{60}$ powder using argon plasma treatment. The morphology and structural characteristics of the thin films were investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR) and x-ray photo electron spectroscopy (XPS). The electrochemical application of the boron doped fullerene film as a coating layer for silicon anodes in lithium ion batteries was also investigated. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurements were applied to the $B:C_{60}$ coated silicon electrodes at a scan rate of $0.05\;mVs^{-1}$. The CV results show that the $B:C_{60}$ coating layer act as a passivation layer with respect to the insertion and extraction of lithium ions into the silicon film electrode.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have excellent electrical, chemical stability, mechanical and thermal properties. The MWCNT films were investigated as a transparent electrode for the solar cell, OLED, and field-emission display. MWCNT films were fabricated by air spray method, whose process is quite low-costed, using the multi-walled CNTs solution on glass substrates. Moreover, the most stable film was fabricated when the spraying time was 60 sec. The film that was sprayed with the MWCNT dispersion for 60 sec, has 300nm thick. And its electric resistivity, transmittance rate, mobility and carrier concentration are $6{\times}10^{-2}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$, 50% at ${\lambda}=550mm$, $4.3{\times}10^{-2}cm^2/V{\cdot}s$ and $2.1{\times}10^{21}cm^{-3}$, respectively. Also, absorption energy of MWCNT films show from 3.9 eV to 4.6 eV. Furthermore, we can use MWCNT films fabricated by the spray method for the transparent electrode.
